for example israel is shifting a good part of nuclear forces to see. now this makes sense. it's a good thing to do. the iranians are countering by mobilizing missiles and fixed silos to launch. we could go into details but i'm trying to rise above this and point out there are already strong interactions in these military systems and regions. >> eliot: as the number of nuclear nations increases does the inevitability of a nuclear confrontation almost make you certain there will be in the next 30, 40, 50 years a nuclear war? >> i'm not that pessimistic. the problem is the nature of the country. if you tell me that japan were to get nuclear weapons i wouldn't like it, or canada. but when you tell in iran will have nuclear weapons pakistan has doubled the size of its arrestagriculturearsenal, and that does give cause. >> eliot: pushing nonproliferation which you argue has failed, and you list its grown significantly and as well as we've reduced our nuclear stops, both the united states and russia to the point they're smaller than they used to be, but certainly sufficient right

hamas has now empowered and the voices in israel that don't want peace have grown stronger because of this. is there any pass to any peace that you see in the near future? >> the problem is what you have essentially is a small kbabal of three players. the netanyahu government whose priorities are not the peace process but iran. and the greater chances he will have to confront his own ideology and coalition and hamas that has absolutely no stake and wants to undermine abbas. these are the new alignment which is taking us further and further away from the prospects from a meaningful two-state solution. i think the united states, president obama, will have to make a decision. the chances of his intercession successfully are probably pretty long. the odds are pretty bad. but if he wants to not become the american president on whose watch the two state solution that the conflict expires he'll have to do something. >> eliot: can he do something to reinforce abbas' capacity to negotiate, take power away from hamas and take it to the palestinian authority the counter weight in that world and

to defuse or is it possible to dee fuse what is going on right now between israel and hamas welcome. >> it's very difficult because the landscape, you know, surrounding gaza has been transformed since we went through this kind of spasm in in 2008. and every potential player here is having to recalculate and it's very difficult to control this. the united states has some cards to play but they're not very strong cards. >> eliot: what role is egypt playing? morsi has been hard to understand. is he going to be an useful advocate in getting hamas to back down or is going to have to play to his domestic audience and continue to back up hamas. >> he has got a very difficult political road to play. he has competing constituencies, and interests. as i know, you know, there is a potential opportunity here. president obama prior to the election was very candid in saying morsi is not yet friend, not adversary. there is an opportunity to find a way to work together to help keep a lid on this crisis. to me i see a parallel between the dilemma that morsi is presented and the dilemma that governor
